726256 divided by 5 
We want to divide 726256 by 5.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 5 fits into 7 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 5 from 7 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 5

Let's proceed to step 2:
22 divided by 5 is 4 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 20 away from 22, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 26 / 5

On to step 3:
The number 5 fits into 26 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 145.0
Subtracting 25 from 26 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 5

On to step 4:
The number 5 fits into 12 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1452.0
Subtracting 10 from 12 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 5

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 25 by 5, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14525.0
If we take 25 away from 25, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 6 / 5

Advancing to step 6:
5 goes into 6 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 145251.0
Deduct 5 from 6 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 5 fits into 10 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 145251.2
Subtract 10 from 10 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
0 divided by 5 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 145251.2
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
5 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 145251.2
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 145251.2 with a remainder of 0.0.
